About this report

  • an initial assessment of a range of existing and potential natural hazard risks that affect the Matamata-Piako District and how these may change over time
  • an initial qualitative risk assessment which identifies the risk to life and property in broad terms
  • an identification of gaps and priorities
  • a basis for developing effective district plan provisions regarding natural hazards.

Both Matamata Piako District Council (MPDC) and Waikato Regional Council (WRC) have ongoing natural hazards commitments in the district.
